Famous quotes containing the word praise:
“What were our praise to them? They eat
Quiet’s wild heart, like daily meat;
Who when night thickens are afloat
On dappled skins in a glass boat,
Far out under a windless sky;
While over them birds of Aengus fly....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Do homage to thy King,
And highly praise His humble pomp
Which He from Heaven doth bring.”
—Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)
“From all that dwell below the skies
let the Creator’s praise arise!
Let the Redeemer’s name be sung
through every land, by every tongue!”
—Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
